Meet Gabriele Casella, the UN Young Ambassadors Society coordinator who’s betting big on Gen Z to tackle the world’s toughest challenges. From climate action 🌍 to ending hunger 🍴 and revolutionizing energy systems ⚡, he’s rallying young voices to rewrite the rulebook on global policymaking.
Why Youth Voices Matter Now
Casella told NewspaperAmigo: "Young people aren’t just future leaders – they’re today’s problem-solvers." His team works like a real-life Avengers squad 🦸, connecting under-30 changemakers with UN decision-makers to fast-track the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Three Big Battles
1️⃣ Climate Crisis: Pushing for youth-led green tech startups 2️⃣ Zero Hunger: Digital platforms connecting farmers with food banks 3️⃣ Clean Energy: TikTok-style campaigns making solar cool ☀️
Gen Z isn’t just scrolling TikTok – they’re drafting policy briefs between classes and launching climate apps during lunch breaks. 📱💡 "We need their viral energy in boardrooms," Casella says, noting youth-led projects have already impacted 50+ countries.
